Cathy Burgess founded The Burgess Collection in 2017, inspired by her endless affinity for luxury fashion and her love for Newport; a beautiful seaside city in Rhode Island.

Born and raised in Rhode Island, Cathy studied fashion and retail in Boston. She started her career as a fashion sales rep for high end women's clothing. Cathy realized her potential to create her own brand and began designing and curating a line that she loved and felt was missing in the industry. Today, The Burgess Collection can be found in stores across the country making women feel their best.
